Francis Winham Foundation grants

The Francis Winham Foundation were interested in providing grants specifically for capital and/or equipment costs in English adult hospices that are members of Help the Hospices.

About this grant programme

Hospices could apply for funding to undertake any kind of capital projects, for example new builds, extensions, ward conversions, renovations and equipment.

 

The Francis Winham Foundation provided over £600,000 each year  and grants of between £20,000 and £50,000 each were made.

 

Applications from the ‘most needy’ hospices were prioritised. This meant that hospices that showed free reserves of less than nine months running costs in their most recent audited accounts were eligible. For the purpose of this grants programme, free reserves were defined as unrestricted funds (including designated funds) less unrestricted fixed assets.
